There also needs to be consideration given to protecting the setting around traditional farm buildings. For example, oast houses are a particular and distinctive feature of East Sussex and an old oast stands out like a sore thumb against new buildings. At the very least, such buildings (even if converted) should be bounded on 3 sides by fields and / or other traditional buildings to maintain the character of the setting.

Currently Barnhorn(e) Manor, as well as the cottage on the grounds are Grade 2 listed. For those of you that are unaware of the Antiquity of the site……..The Manor of Barnhorn(e) dates back to 772 (shown on the gated wall as you approach the drive from Barnhorn Rd), when King Offa granted its lands. That was over 1,200 years ago. Later on the manor of Barnhorn was owned by the Abbots of Battle. Barnhorn Manor had a very interesting history. The tenants took hay and wheat to Battle Abbey in lieu of rent. There was a very real connection between Barnhorn and Battle Abbey until the time when Battle Abbey and Barnhorn passed to the mother of Henry VIII.
